Yes, I've been looking at that. Update has the same problem. But some
questions remain:

    * Should "svn status" on an added, uncommitted directory
      authenticate at all?
    * Should "svn checkout" of a new tree inside a wc use the existing
      auths? What if the checkout is from a different repository?

I think I'll put together a hack to make status and update work, and
file an issue anyway.
